I have a gig coming up and the customer gave me a Powerpoint slide show to play during the night. How do I convert this to play in VSL so that I can link this to a song and play throughout the night. Thanks

Try using a screencapture software, run the PowerPoint on a computer while screencapture it to a video, then use the video in Serato.

If you can take that file and use handbrake to convert it (with our preset) to a format that Video Sl would play, that would be a good way of doing it.

Another way would be to close the Video SL output window and simply play the power point slideshow.

I downloaded a PPT converter freeware on my windows computer, converted it ran it through 2 virus protection softwares then put it on my MAC works great. Now I can link this PPT slide show to a song, so I wont have to close anything out and re open it.

As always Thanks,
